Elizabeth Nelson

I was born and raised in the Los Angeles area then spent many years traveling up and down the West coast I ended up getting my BA from California State University Northridge. I then traveled and learned more ended up getting an SLPA licenses along the way.

For the last 7 years I have lived in Portland and the last 6 have worked for Portland Public Schools. Though this is my first year with Virtual Scholars I am very excited to help these students get the most out of our program and learn skills that will help them in years to come.

Outside of work I am part of a story gaming non-profit that’s goal is positive actions through play.
